The Story

“Sheep in wolf’s clothing”… Nothing is what it seems, the perception is our best skill. Mind the sheep that leaves the herd to be the main character, the irony is its best quality.

José Millán’s “Mosquita Muerta Wines” project starts in 2010 at the family's Los Toneles winery in Mendoza city with the goal of producing the very best blends Argentina can yield from the family’s 250 Has of high-elevation vineyards in Mendoza. Winemaker Bernardo Bossi (formerly with Catena Zapata) uses multiples fermentation and aging techniques to deliver stunning hand-crafted wines. Mosquita Muerta is an expression in Spanish used to describe a person with little potential for success who ends up accomplishing a remarkable feat. Jose Millán chose this name for his project to mock those in the region who doubted of his potential as a wine industry entrepreneur.
